USING PERSONALITY STYLE PREFERENCES TO ENHANCE TEACHING IN OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington.

Using personality style preferences as the basis for faculty development workshops, physician educators in several departments of obstetrics and gynecology learned how to use these differences to enhance clinical teaching. Data from five workshops are analyzed to determine the predominant personality styles of 184 department chairmen, faculty, and residents in obstetrics and gynecology. Chairmen had a stronger preference for taking charge than faculty or residents. As a whole, all preferred use of logic and action in pursuit of excellence. These findings are discussed in relation to student ratings of faculty clinical teaching and to faculty development.
